About this map

The White River winds in a tight, meandering pattern across this Jackson and Mellette County landscape, defining the transition between the rolling uplands and the river valley. This drainage network is fed by several prominent tributaries, including Brave Bull Cr and Black Pipe Cr in the western reaches, and Porcupine Cr and Larvie Cr to the south and east. The rugged topography is bisected by major transportation corridors, with Interstate 90 and Highway 248 cutting through the northern sections, while Brave Bull Rd provides local access. The map reveals the intricate natural drainage system characteristic of the South Dakota plains, where the White River has carved a distinct path through the township and range divisions of the region.
